Sea Foam? or Carb Rebuild?
I have rebult/cleaned hundreds of carbs in my life.. 99% of the time it fixes the iffy running condition....
Problem is Im getting lazy and have read countless miracle results from using Sea Foam..
Over the weekend I fired up my 2 stroke trimmer.. its been running bad since I fired it up in the spring.. has gotten worse over the summer..didnt want to rebuild its carb and had just bought a can of SeaFoam.. I mixed 1/2 oz in its pint of gas and fired it up.. it ran worse for about 90 seconds and then started to run better.. by the time I got done with the lawn the trimmer would idle.. Hasnt done that since last summer..
Monday my g/s wanted a ride on a quad.. fired up the Jetmoto 150 and it was idling rough and hesitated when I hit the gas..(ran it for 15 minutes or so) Mixed 3 ozs of SeaFoam in a gallon of gas(drained the gas that was in the tank) Fire it up and it to ran worse for a minute or so.. then slowly improved.. rode it around for about 1/2 hour and its good as new again..

correct me if i'm wrong, but if sea foam is able to clean carbon buildup off intake valves on cars, ect, woudlnt it break down the oil in the crankcase on a 4 stroke, or the oil in the gas on a two stroke?
i know sea foam tells you to change your oil after running it in your crankcase, and they suggest changing spark plugs after running it thru the gas or vacuum tube

That would make sense...
Ive only added it to gas so far..

yea like i said i could be wrong, but if it can break down carbon buildup, i would assume it can't do much good for viscosity of oil at all. i have heard good things about it when used properly tho, i just never used it myself, i'm not a believer of a mechanic in a bottle at all
